Do I have a shot?
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 1:59 pm
LSAT - 161
LSAC GPA - 2.88
I have basically decided to stay instate (Arizona) and go to either the University of Arizona or Arizona State (worst case scenario Phoenix Law). If I go out of state I would need a pretty decent scholarship to justify the money of out of state/instate, and the fact that I want to live in Phoenix after I graduate. 161 was just about where i was PT (i was PT around 160-164). Please don't just say "retake and apply next cycle", i started at a 147, and the low 160s felt like my ceiling. I might retake anyways, and hope to get mid 160s, but if I can get into these two schools with the 161 i probably wont. What are my chances at these schools? My own resesarch says that UofA I have a decent shot at, but ASU is on the rise and might be out of my reach. My friend who is a L1 at ASU said that this years class was their best statistically (LSAT/GPA) ever, and I have a feeling they will rise in rankings/selectivity because of it. What are my chances at both?
I have a little bit of "tiebreakers" going for me like a heavy upward GPA (4.0 senior year, 3.8 final 2 years), and I'm and in-state resident. My University GPA was 3.2. My LOR are decent, and I'm still writing my PS. Im not a URM. I also graduated from University of Arizona (does that even matter?)
